Travel Guide Llanera

The second stage of La Ruta de la Plata will lead you to Llanera, a commune comprising eleven localities (about 14,000 inhabitants), south of Gijón, with the possible starting point Lugo de Llanera, as this place was, under the name Lucus Asturum, an important Roman settlement and a central axis. communications of the time via a road that united it in Lucus Augusti (Lugo, Galicia). This key axis played by this municipality in the great central plain of Asturias left a heritage of medieval origin interesting, such as the palace of Villanueva or the castle of San Cucao. But this commune is also the opportunity to discover beautiful gently hilly landscapes as well as the small villages nestled in the bottom or side of the valleys. Walking, cycling or golfing will complement the pleasures of the stay. And if you can, we will visit the first weekend of July to the medieval Exconxuraos festival, which brings together almost 40,000 people every year.
